So much for that Wild Card lead. Once Philadelphia wrapped up an unsurprising 4 game sweep, they are tied with the spiraling Crew, but shouldn’t be for long considering the Cubs host Milwaukee for three games at Wrigley next. Nothing about the games is worth mentioning, just the fact that Philadelphia played with heart and fire, something Ned Yost just doesn’t understand, and probably never will. Dave Bush pitched decently, 6 innings and 3 runs, but the bullpen could not hold the 3-3 game in the eighth. Brian Shouse got pounded, for 4 runs, and then the team totally fell apart for the Nightcap. Jeff Suppan was laughable, 3.2 innings and 6 runs surrendered. The Brewers offense did nothing, and 2008 is nearly finished as a result.
